    No. Windows ships already well compressed. There’s no way it’ll compress further by 50%.

    I’ve been getting about that rate of compression consistently with Clonezilla on windows 10. I also didn’t have any problems relocating it… it just start a driver update step and then reboots normally, but idk about how licensing work for this cases.

      Oh cool! I haven’t tried in some time. Thanks for adding your experience. That’s great news. (I’ll add a correction above, as well.)
